Their is a "jump start" connector under the hood. Near pass shock tower, near belts. You have to open the plastic cover labeled "jumpstart". Hook negative up to bolt on motor mount.

Start "live" vehicle

Connect + cable from "live" vehicle to + battery terminal on "dead" vehicle

Connect - cable from "live" vehicle to good engine ground on "dead" vehile

Let vehicles sit for about 5 minutes allowing "live" to charge "dead"

Try to start "dead" vehicle

If yours is like my 98, and the battery is under the backseat, there is a little black box on the top of the wheel well inside the engine compartment on the left side. It has a + sign on it. Flip up the plastic lid. This is the positive terminal. Hook up the negative to the engine or frame for a ground. This is how you jump it, or put a boost pack on it to start the car. I have been told, never to boost another car with this method. It will damage the battery and/or car. Only boost another car with a Riviera by hooking up directly to the battery. You will need long cables. LOL

Can you jump start a Buick lucerne with out remove the seate?

Yes, you can jump-start a Buick Lucerne without removing the seat. The battery is located in the trunk, so you'll need to access it through the trunk area. Simply connect the jumper cables to the battery terminals in the trunk and then to the donor vehicle's battery, following standard jump-starting procedures.

Why won't your 1995 Eldorado Cadillac take a jump start?

My vehical has been sitting in the garage it has a good running engine, but it has been rear ended. I decided too jump start it,it would not take a jump start. I notice that there was a wiring connect to the positive cable leading from, to a clear see through box, then it went to some wear I did not look to see. Why come my 1995 Eldorado Casdilac Wont take a full jump start. It will light up the interia lights and things like that but when I disconnect the cable it go dead completely. your battey might not be good.
